Square 1 Burgers & Bar closes Sarasota location

Square 1 Burgers & Bar, the casual, full-service chain that started in Tampa and features a wide array of gourmet burgers, has closed its Sarasota restaurant at 6240 S. Tamiami Trail, near Stickney Point Road.

The business had moved from a site across from Sarasota Memorial Hospital in 2015 into a remodeled former Christian Youth & Nightlife Center.

“Unfortunately, the closing was caused by the dramatic drop in sales since June of last year,” a Tampa-based spokesperson said via email.
